My First Sweater Design!

Here it is! My first sweater design with multiple sizes. I absolutly loved designing this sweater and knitting it. The yarn was amazing, I used Mirasol Project's Tupa, which is a 50/50 wool silk blend. The colors that it comes in are amazing.

I just posted the pattern in my etsy shop and on Ravelry. Check it out if you want more info on the pattern.

Simon has been away for a week now and my days here in Philly are moving, I'm not sure yet if they are moving quickly but the are moving. It is now down to 16 days before I fly out from Philly. I'm getting excited and can't wait to see Simon and meet his family, not to mention be in warm weather.

Sneak Peek

What could this be? Maybe a new pattern? Maybe my first sweater pattern? Maybe something awesome? I will post more info on this interesting pic in the week to come.

Tidal Pool

I just listed this beautiful aqua blue sock yarn in my etsy shop. I love this color, it came out beautiful on the hank of wool. I look forward to seeing it off to knitter or crocheter who loves this color as much as I do. Check out my shop for more info

Cornflower Blue

Here is a pic of my current project.

It's an adult variation on an Elizabeth Zimmerman baby sweater by Pamela Wynne. I'm calling it my February Oz Trip Sweater.

Simon's Last Day

Today is Simon's last day here in the states for awhile.
We finished up a lot of paper work for his visa and ran errands.

We've been running around seeing friends almost every night since Sunday and I am exhausted. I'm going to miss him once I drop him off at the airport tomorrow.

Target

Yesterday Simon and I had our last date day and what better place to spend it than in state where we met and began our relationship, New Jersey.

We went out to brunch at the dinner where we had our first date, and then off to one of my favorite places Target. I don't know why, but I really love target. We had a mission while we were there, create our wedding registry. This process was simple and easy and a hell of a lot of fun. We could have stayed home and done it all online, but it was much more fun going to the store and using the price scanner gun. Simon wasn't thrilled about making a list of things we wanted people to buy us and while I'm not one to place a lot of importance on thing like a wedding registry it was fun, and people have already been asking about where we were registered.

Our list didn't end up being very big, and I will probably go online and tweek the list a bit. One of my favorite things that is on our registry is a large wall clock, of Simon's choosing.
